IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot has addressed the following vulnerabilities in X.Org libX11.
Summary
IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot has addressed the following vulnerabilities in X.Org libX11.
CVEID: CVE-2016-7942
Description: X.Org libX11 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds read in the XGetImage() function. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/117541> for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2013-7439
Description: libX11 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by MakeBigReq macro. By sending an overly long MakeBigReq() value, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 6.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/102137> for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2013-1981
Description: X.Org libX11 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by multiple integer overflow errors within the XQueryFont(), _XF86BigfontQueryFont(), XListFontsWithInfo(), XGetMotionEvents(), XListHosts(), XGetModifierMapping(), XGetPointerMapping(), XGetKeyboardMapping(), XGetWindowProperty(), and XGetImage() functions. By sending specially-crafted data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/84494> for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2013-1997
Description: X.Org libX11 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by multiple integer overflow errors within the XAllocColorCells(), _XkbReadGetDeviceInfoReply(), _XkbReadGeomShapes(), _XkbReadGetGeometryReply(), _XkbReadKeySyms(), _XkbReadKeyActions(), _XkbReadKeyBehaviors(), _XkbReadModifierMap(), _XkbReadExplicitComponents(), _XkbReadVirtualModMap(), _XkbReadGetNamesReply(), _XkbReadGetMapReply(), _XimXGetReadData(), XListFonts(), XListExtensions(), and XGetFontPath() functions. By sending specially-crafted data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See <https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/84495> for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVEID: CVE-2013-2004
Description: X.Org libX11 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by multiple integer overflow errors within the GetDatabase() and _XimParseStringFile() functions. By sending specially-crafted data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
